Item Description
PLEASE NOTE - RING CONDITION IS AS DESCRIBED. WHAT YOU SEE IN OUR PHOTO (ESPECIALLY IF ENLARGED) IS NOT WHAT IS SEEN BY THE NAKED EYE. THE HIGH QUALITY OF THE PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE AMPLIFIES EVEN THE MOST MINOR IMPERFECTION. LOOKING AT THE ITEM IN PERSON AND UNDER NORMAL VIEWING CONDITIONS, LITTLE TO NONE OF THIS IS EVIDENT. WHEN WE GIVE A RING LIKE THIS A HIGH GRADE, THAT IS THE ACCURATE GRADE AND A MORE TRUE ACCOUNT OF THE ITEM AS SEEN IN THE CATALOG PHOTO.

This ring was issued in 1941 by Kellogg's All-Rye Flakes and saw extremely limited distribution only in California. The ring is brass with adjustable bands and features a Viking sailing ship on each side. Top has Valric wearing a winged helmet along with a tiny brass rivet holding a small magnifying glass within a brass frame. A small pin on the bottom edge of the ring allows the magnifying glass to be locked into position thus magnifying Valric's portrait or the glass can be swung to the side for use in magnifying objects. Ring has trivial wear only seen under magnification. Near full bright luster. NM.  One of the rarest and most desirable premium rings. Only a few examples are known and this is the first example we have offered in over a decade. Robert M. Overstreet Ring Collection.
